Liu Wenru, Party chief of Jinjiang, said the future of the city relies on further opening-up and more connection with international industries. "Internationalization can help share the city's charm with people from the all over the world."

As China's labor cost has continued to increase, more than 100 Jinjiang-based companies have established overseas production lines.

"By setting up overseas factories, we can familiarize ourselves with foreign markets, offering job opportunities there and contributing to the world's economy," said Xu Teji, vice president of the chamber of commerce in Jinjiang.

Jinjiang-based clothing firm Septwolves invested 320 million yuan in 2017 to become the China distributor of many luxury brands such as Italian label Canali, Versace Collection and jewelry brand George Jensen.

"Chinese firms have become more and more confident in the international arena. They have kept improving themselves while creating more opportunities for the world," said Xu.
